Sigma Olomouc vs Rakow prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-10-22 19:00.
[p]Sigma Olomouc look to get off the mark in the UEFA Conference League as they host Rak贸w, who make the short journey across the border from Poland to Czech Republic.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A 2-0 defeat to Conference League heavyweights Fiorentina forms part of a wider slump for Sigma Olomouc, who鈥檝e won just two of their last 11 games across all competitions (D3, L6). The Czech side have worryingly lost all three European games this term without scoring a single goal, so they鈥檒l be desperate to open their account in their first full campaign in major UEFA competitions in over two decades. A return home should help matters, as their European defeat to Malm枚 is their only loss all season on their own turf (W4, D2).[/p]
[p]Opponents Rak贸w were victorious on matchday one, beating Univ. Craiova 2-0 as part of a three-match winning run that was unceremoniously ended in domestic action at the weekend. The Medallions will be keen to bounce back here and build on victory in their Conference League opener, which was just their second win in the main draw of major European competition. They鈥檝e got strong away form on the continent behind them too, as they arrive here looking to extend a run of four successive away wins in Europe.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Sigma have a 50% winning record against Polish teams (W3, D1, L2). Rak贸w faced Czech opposition in Conference League qualifying in 2022/23, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Slavia Prague (W1, L1).聽[/p]
